On October 6, 1922, on the day of discussion at the Plenum of the Central Committee of the RCP(b) on the question of relations between the RSFSR and the independent republics, Lenin, who was unable to attend the session, wrote a note to L. B. Kamenev, in which he emphasized the necessity of struggle against Great Power chauvinism and, as a supplement to the resolution, proposed that in the Union Central Executive Committee, representatives of all the uniting republics should take turns presiding (see present volume, p. 214).
